11.8 is a venture studio building and backing early-stage products, from fleet management systems to marketplaces to automation platforms already generating real revenue. We work with sharp, execution-focused operators rather than optimizing for pedigree. Small team, fast pace, real products in market.
Responsibilities
Volunteer/Contract (depending on experience) UX/UI Designer role for one of our portfolio products, an AI-powered productivity app. You'd own design across the board. What we're trying to get done:
- Set up Figma properly for the team, file structure, organization, the works
- Redesign the landing page
- Design the payment and upgrade flow
- Audit the current web app and find where it's clunky or losing people
- Build a real design system and component library so we stop reinventing things
- Build out a design harness, our internal AI-assisted workflow for generating and iterating on design work faster
- Update the mobile app's existing screens, not starting from scratch
- Run branding sessions to nail down what the product looks and feels like
- Lead UX research when it's useful, interviews, flows, usability checks
- Push design system work forward, not just wait for direction
- Turn some of this into case studies as we go
You'll work directly with founders and engineers, iterating fast, and figuring a lot of this out as you go.
Qualifications
- Comfortable with Figma and taking a product from rough idea to prototype
- Solid UX and UI fundamentals, flows, systems, visual design
- Fluent with AI tools in your design workflow, not just curious about them
- Can work with ambiguity and move quickly on early-stage products
